So a brand new system could be a new STANAG.
Regardless, if one chose the Weaver it'd work.
Same as if one went for Picatinny or the 'ubiquitous' STANAG rail of the SUSAT.*
*Which dozens of countries have adopted.
Or not.Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
"If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."
Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

Which has to dog leg over the top of the rifle while not obstructing the ejection opening and if you want a low enough sight line for the scope it means you have a mount that is still in the way of daily cleaning. Originally Posted by Cutaway

STANAG rails are different from Picatinny rails by the way and the NATO/STANAG standard rail while possibly interchangable with US kit offers better repeatabilty due to the profile of the rail.Last edited by Buzz; 09-05-2012 at 22:59.

Which is the fancy STANAG name for the Picatinny.
Weaver kit will fit Picatinny but not necessarily the reverse.
The actual rail itself is purely detail.
A straddle mount on rails or lugs would give even more stability, but is this a battle rifle or a sharpshooter's toy ?scalieback likes this.Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
